Travel to Kemi


JuteVilla
Kemi-Tornio Airport (IATA: KEM) (ICAO: EFKE), 6km from the city, One hour by plane from Helsinki. Airport is used by Finncomm Airlines.

Kemi is the end of the line if heading west, towards Sweden because there are no passenger services across, as the rail gauge is different. Within Finland, trains to Rovaniemi take about 1.5 hours, while a trip all the way to Helsinki, fairly painless if done in a sleeper overnight, is 9 hours.

Buses head towards the Swedish border at Tornio/Haparanda (30 min) and onward to LuleƄ (2.5h), where you can reboard a train. Buses on this segment are free with most railpasses.

Kemi railway station is an intermediate station on the railway between Lapland and Helsinki. It is operated by VR. The junction of the Kolari and Rovaniemi lines lies to the north of Kemi station.

Finnish national road 4 and European routes E8 and E75 run through the town.

Kemi-Tornio Airport is located 4.5 kilometers (2.8 mi) north of Kemi city centre
